Japanese Patent publication 53-40767 and 54-112828 also disclosed that phenoxypropionic acid amide derivatives show herbicidal activities.
However, none of the patents teaches the synthesis of the compound represented in the above formula 1 and has tested the same for herbicidal activity. Furthermore, it has not been reported that the compounds have superior herbicidal activity and selectivity toward rice and control barnyard grass produced from rice.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Even though many of herbicides for rice have been recently developed and used, barnyard grass among weeds is the biggest problem in rice paddy.
Development of herbicides to control barnyard grass is an urgent request to one who is in the field of agriculture. After transplanting young rice, conventional herbicides, developed until now, cannot effectively control the production of barnyard grass so that it causes a huge damage to harvest. It has been reported that when barnyard grass is produced for one week in 1 m2, amount of harvest decreases by 2%, for 5 weeks by about 10%, for 10 weeks by 19% and for 20 weeks by 35%.
Many herbicides have been used for the purpose of controlling barnyard grass that damages in huge amount of harvest of rice. However, the herbicide with a broader herbicidal activity, environmentally-friendly property and cost-effectiveness is still in demand.
The inventors have intensively studied to prepare herbicides to effectively control barnyard grass. As a result, we completed this invention to find a novel phenoxypropionic acid alkoxycarbonyl anilid and its derivatives that are stable to rice and selectively control barnyard grass. This superior effectiveness is distinguished from the conventional inventions.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is characterized by novel phenoxypropionic acid alkoxy-carbonyl anilid and its derivatives represented in formula 1 with an excellent herbicidal activity as well as selectively stable toward rice.
